As expected, Apple has increased the prices of all its iPhones in the country. The new prices come into effect starting today (February 05). The prices have gone up by an average of 3%.

Last week, finance minister Arun Jaitley had proposed an increase in customs duty on imported phones to 20%, from 15%, in Union Budget 2018.

This is the second time in three months that prices of Apple iPhones have been increased as a result of duty hike on imported phones. The aim of duty hike is to boost local manufacturing under the government's Make in India program.

Apple iPhone X’s 64GB and 256GB both have seen a price rise. While the 64GB model is dearer by Rs 2,960 to Rs 95,390, the 256GB model is costly by Rs 3,210 to Rs 1,08,930. Both were previously priced at Rs 92,430 and Rs 1,05,720.

The iPhone 8 has also witnessed a price rise for both the 64GB and 256GB models. The 64GB variant, which was previously priced at Rs 66,120, now comes at a price tag of Rs 67,940. The 256GB variant goes from Rs 79,420 to Rs 81,500.

Apple’s 2016 flagship, the iPhone 7 (32GB) has reached Rs 52,370 mark in India, up from the original price of Rs 50,810. The 128GB version, which had a price tag of Rs 59,910, has now hit Rs 61,560 MRP.
